Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic device comprising electronic circuitry, the electronic circuitry being configured to select a first set of schedule items wherein the schedule items are selected for display, e.g. program listings.
  • the invention further relates to a method of selecting a set of schedule items, comprising the step of selecting a first set of schedule items wherein the schedule items are selected for display.
  • the invention also relates to a computer program product comprising software for enabling a programmable device to perform a method of selecting a set of schedule items.
  • WO00/074376 An example of such a method is known from WO00/074376 .
  • the known method displays a first set of schedule items and allows a user to scroll through the schedule items. When the user scrolls, the method ensures that the row or column of the highlighted program listings contains other program listings of around the same time.
  • a drawback of WO00/074376 is that it remains silent on what to do if the user does not scroll for a relatively long time.
  • One option would be to exit the program listings screen after a few minutes.
  • Another option would be to refresh the program listings every X minutes, where X is for example 30. Unfortunately, if X is too low or too high, the user's understanding of the schedule will deteriorate.
  • EP 1 317 141 A2 discloses: a program guide display apparatus for displaying a table of programs, which is a two dimensional arrangement for displaying program cells assigned to respective programs along the time and channel axes: a broadcast program search device which searches for a program whose broadcast time includes the current time; an earliest end time storage device which stores an end time of a program which finishes earliest of all the searched program, as an earliest end time; an earliest end time determination device which determines whether the current time is the stored earliest end time, or later than the stored earliest end time; and a program cell display device which displays a program cell with the stored earliest end time as a top display time of the table of programs, if the current time is the stored earliest end time, or later than the stored earliest end time.
  • the first object is realized in that the electronic circuitry is further configured to, upon detecting that at least one highlighted schedule item of the first set of schedule items has an end time which precedes a current time or a user highlights at least one schedule item that has an end time which precedes a current time, select a second set of schedule items, the second set of schedule items not including said at least one schedule item and/or a schedule item preceding said at least one schedule item.
  • the schedule e.g. an EPG
  • a schedule item whose end time is equal to the current time may also be considered to have an end time that precedes the current time.
  • the user may be able to accept that some of the selected schedule items have an end time preceding the current time, as long as he cannot accidentally select an elapsed schedule item, i.e. by ensuring that the highlighted schedule item has not elapsed.
  • the electronic circuitry is configured to attempt said detection upon a user highlighting the highlighted item.
  • An auto-refresh is triggered by the highlighted schedule item elapsing.
  • This can advantageously be used in combination with the EPG updating every X minutes, e.g. every 30 minutes.
  • the schedule items may comprise broadcast programs, e.g. television programs. Broadcast programs and especially television programs are often listed electronically in an Electronic Program Guides (EPG), which is a quite popular application. Other applications are personal agendas and agendas in conference centers or the like.
  • EPG Electronic Program Guides
  • the second set may be selected such that it comprises only schedule items with a start time on or after the current time. Even when only the elapsing of the highlighted program triggers an auto-refresh, it may be advantageous to refresh more than just the programs on the channel of the highlighted program. Refreshing all elapsed schedule items results in the most consistent set.
  • the second set may be selected such that it comprises all schedule items from the first set except the at least one schedule item and/or a schedule item preceding said at least one schedule item.
  • the second object is realized in that the method further comprises the step of, upon detecting that at least one highlighted schedule item of the first set of schedule items has an end time which precedes a current time or a user highlights at least one schedule item that has an end time which precedes a current time, selecting a second set of schedule items, the second set of schedule items not including said at least one schedule item and/or a schedule item preceding said at least one schedule item.
  • This method may be performed by a computer program or an Internet EPG, for example.
  • a step 1 comprises selecting a first set of schedule items.
  • a step 3 comprises, upon detecting that at least one of one or more of the first set of schedule items has an end time which precedes a current time, selecting a second set of schedule items, the second set of schedule items not including said at least one schedule item and/or a schedule item preceding said at least one schedule item.
  • step 1 comprises a step 11 of selecting and displaying the first set of schedule items and a step 13 of setting a timer for one of the first set of schedule items.
  • the timer may be set, for example, for a highlighted schedule item or for the schedule item with the earliest end time. If the timer is higher than a certain maximum, it may be set to this maximum, e.g. to 30 minutes. If no timer is needed, e.g. refreshing is only performed after user input, step 13 can be omitted. In an alternative embodiment, polling is used instead of a timer.
  • step 3 comprises a step 15 of waiting for the timer to expire and/or waiting for a user to highlight a schedule item that has an end time which precedes a current time. After such an event is signaled, the second set of schedule items is selected and displayed in step 17. In step 19, the timer is again set and waiting is resumed in step 15. If no timer is needed, step 19 can be omitted and the method then returns to step 15 immediately after step 17.
  • Fig. 2 shows an example of two sets of schedule items at different moments.
  • the two sets are displayed as grids of irregularly spaced cells, but could alternatively be displayed as grids of regularly spaced cells, for example.
  • the first set 31 is selected at 14:00 as indicated by time indicator 35.
  • Program A1 is selected as the program that triggers the timer, either because it is the highlighted program or because it is the first program that will end. Program A1 runs for another 20 minutes. The timer is therefore set to 20 minutes.
  • the second set 33 is selected. Program A1 has been removed from the second set 33, but all the other programs of the first set 31 are selected as part of the second set 33. New programs A4 and D4 have further been added to the second set 33.
  • the method might list an expired program for each channel.
  • the current time of the first set of schedule items 31 could be 15:00 and the timer would then be set to 30 minutes, because both program A2 and B2 would end in 30 minutes.
  • a second set would be selected in which both program A1 and B1 would be removed.
  • the electronic device 51 comprises electronic circuitry 53, see Fig.3 .
  • the electronic circuitry 53 is configured to select a first set of schedule items and, upon detecting that at least one of one or more of the first set of schedule items has an end time which precedes a current time, select a second set of schedule items, the second set of schedule items not including said at least one schedule item and/or a schedule item preceding said at least one schedule item.
  • the electronic device 51 may be a television, a PC, a game console, an optical disc recorder, a satellite receiver, a terrestrial receiver or a cable receiver, for example.
  • the electronic circuitry 53 may be capable of executing a computer program.
  • the electronic circuitry 53 may be an application-specific processor, as used in many DVD recorders, or a general-purpose processor, as used in many Media Center PCs.
  • the electronic device 51 may comprise a storage means 55, an input 57 and an output 59.
  • the storage means 55 may comprise an optical disc reader/writer, a magnetic storage means, a solid-state memory, and/or a holographic storage means, for example.
  • the input 57 and output 59 may comprise, for example, a network connector, e.g. a USB connecter or an Ethernet connector, an analogue audio and/or video connector, such as a coaxial connector, a cinch connector or a SCART connector, or a digital audio and/or video connector, such as an HDMI or SPDIF connector.
  • the input 57 can be used to receive the schedule items, e.g.
  • the input 57 and output 59 may comprise a wireless receiver and/or transmitter.
  • the electronic device 51 may comprise a reproduction means (not shown).
  • the reproduction means may comprise, for example, a display and/or a loud speaker.
  • 'Means' as will be apparent to a person skilled in the art, are meant to include any hardware (such as separate or integrated circuits or electronic elements) or software (such as programs or parts of programs) which perform in operation or are designed to perform a specified function, be it solely or in conjunction with other functions, be it in isolation or in co-operation with other elements.
  • the invention can be implemented by means of hardware comprising several distinct elements, and by means of a suitably programmed computer.
  • 'Computer program product' is to be understood to mean any software product stored on a computer-readable medium, such as a floppy disk, downloadable via a network, such as the Internet, or marketable in any other manner.
